Have you ever found yourself saying to your child, "You're OK, don't cry," whilst knowing you mean well, but feeling like something deeper is happening?

This week’s Moment explores a powerful idea: we can only hold our children's emotions to the extent that we can hold our own. So many of us grew up believing resilience meant pushing through, staying strong and keeping it together. But what if real resilience is actually the opposite?

In this conversation, Zoe and Dr Alex George explore the emotional patterns we inherit, why so many of us struggle to sit with difficult feelings, and how learning to hold our own emotions changes the way we parent. There’s a moment where Zoe shares a huge realisation: the reason she struggled with her children’s big feelings wasn’t because of them - it was because no one had ever taught her how to handle her own.

If you've ever felt uncomfortable with your child's tears, frustration or meltdowns, this episode might help explain why.

💡 In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why resilience isn't about "pushing through"

• The parenting patterns we pass on without realising

• Why many millennial parents were never taught emotional processing

• How our early years shape the way we respond to stress

• A simple reframe that can help you hold difficult feelings - yours and your child's

Listen now and see whether this changes the way you think about emotions, resilience and parenting.
